Its easy to code this stuff when you're working for someone who is happy to pay you to do open source stuff that benefits them, but I'm doing this for fun. Maybe I shouldn't, I ain't getting paid (much.) There's only so many 45 minute bus trips to/from university a day atm. There's plenty of examples of multi-threaded network servers out there. Whats stopping Squid from taking advantage of that is about 6 months of concentrated work from some people who have the clue and time. None of us with the clue have any time, and noone else has stepped up to the plate and offered assistance (time, money, etc.) We'd love to work on it but the question is "so how do we eat". Adrian
